"One Universe" RPG thread.

[The Question]

"I wouldn't bet on it, kid." I say, landing behind him, "At least for you and the archery nut, if you accept another, yet equally important mission. I've just got word from a team of people who've actually gotten into Darkseid's ship, but they need back-up, and since I figured you two would be less likely to put a major hurt on our would-be conquerer here, I think it'd be better for you to help there."

"If you want, I can fly you up there now, before the pain comes."

"Let's see. Stay here and face certain death, or go into an alien spaceship and face highly likely death. I'll go with the spaceship."

 

[TheTurtle]

Im still in the cupboard. Still praying.

I hope God will forgive me for my sins. But I need that suit back, need it. I have no clue how long I'll last without it, a couple of days, weeks, years? Only god knows.

I pull myself up, feeling weak all of a sudden. I open the door, and walk out into the war zone that is New York City. I hide again, begging that nothing will see me, then I see him...

Someone with the suit. From the big white spider on his chest I'm betting it's spider-man.

Spider-Man has my suit? I cant deal with him right now. No way, but I can wait... I hope. I go back into the building, and back to the cupboard.

I'm done with praying, it's time to start planning.

 

[SuperFerret]

"Let's see. Stay here and face certain death, or go into an alien spaceship and face highly likely death. I'll go with the spaceship."

Arrow looks at me, then at the ominous shape hanging in the sky. "I've been inside one of those things before, above Star City. It was hell. But if we can take that ship down, maybe we can end it all here."

He looks down the street, Darkseid still striding towards us. Fire is now leaking from Darkseid's eyes. "Whatever we're going to do, we'd better do it quick."

Then Thor speaks up, "I shall stay and fight Darkseid. Thou shall need someone to distract his attentions. Mayhap the Superman and I could serve as that distraction."

"Good idea Thor." I look to Arrow and Spider-man, reaching out my hands, "Let's get you the hell out of here."

Green Arrow grabs on, as Thor flies off towards Darkseid, bellowing something in what I guess is ancient Nordic, lightning crackling around his hammer. Wow, glad he's on our side.

 

[Logan Howlett]

Excellent! Metropolis was won, and now he had the opportunity to attack this...Darkseid, right where it hurt the most. Luthor scrambled over to the intercom.

"Mr...Wolverine, this is Lex Luthor. I have a batallion of fighter planes on the battlefield over there in New York City. I can lead them to your current location. I'm currently remotely piloting a plane myself, so I will make my way up there to collect some samples. After that is done, I may have an idea of how to do some serious damage to that mothership."

Lex Luthor? What was Bill Gates busy playin polo? So lets look at my dream team so far, One Psycho catman whod want nothin better than to see me dead, the tin woodsman down there, and some billioneir crack pot who wished he had a brain! IM IN OZ! IM IN FREAKIN OZ! Guess that makes me Dorthy, minus the ruby slippers.

Whatever yur gona do money bags do it quik! I aint got much time! I already got that Rocket guy tryin to send some support, but I'd definately like to have all I can get! You say you got a batalion o' planes huh?......Good! Send em' here, we may be able to buy more time for the others! Aparantly thier tryin to take on Darksieid himself! Personaly I'm all for rippin his guts out, but this invasion of his aint gona last much Longer if we tear this Mothership down! Oh and one more thing, SHIELD told me that aparently Captain Steve Rogers is reporting for duty again, Captain America ya know, we havent heard from him in a while but aparently he was flyin a jet towards this thing, we been tryin to buy him some time, if you get a hold of him, let him know Lt. Logan's been bustin his ass for that ol' dog and he needs to throw me a bone! Whatever yur doin, it better be quik baldy!

IC: Green Arrow

This was bad. Very bad. Ollie saw it first. Darkseid was heading towards them now.

"Um, guys, Darkseid's headed this way and we don't have a plan. Hell, we don't even have a vague suggestion."

He drew his last two explosive arrows from his quiver. This was it.

"I might have a plan, friend Arrow."

Ollie raised an eyebrow quizzically at Thor. "Now would be a very good time for all thunder gods to reveal any plans they may have, Thor."

"He hath shown resistances to all forms of energy, but mayhaps an attack of forces material and mystical may prove enough to hurt him."

Hell. It was a better idea than anything else he'd thought of.

"Did everyone hear our resident deity? Pour on everything you've got! I want to see laser beams and heat beam eyes and the works, people!"

Best thing he could do now was pray that the god's plan would work. Of course, praying when you've got a god on your side may be redundant.

I listen to them talk. Their words actually are beginning to make a little sense. I had hoped I wouldn't have to use those powers on Darksied, because I don't know what they'd do to him... If anything. But right now, it doesn't seem I have much of a choice.

I've got to use every ounce of power that I have. We all do.

Arrow looks at me, then at the ominous shape hanging in the sky. "I've been inside one of those things before, above Star City. It was hell. But if we can take that ship down, maybe we can end it all here."

He looks down the street, Darkseid still striding towards us. Fire is now leaking from Darkseid's eyes. "Whatever we're going to do, we'd better do it quick."

"Good idea Thor." I look to Arrow and Spider-man, reaching out my hands, "Let's get you the hell out of here."

Green Arrow grabs on, as Thor flies off towards Darkseid, bellowing something in what I guess is ancient Nordic, lightning crackling around his hammer. Wow, glad he's on our side.

I nod, in the background, taking in my instructions. It's a better plan than anything I've been able to come up with. I look over at Thor. He looks back at me. We both understand eachother, it seems.

Then, it begins.

Thor swings that hammer he holds around, in circles, before he flies towards Darksied, who's coming for us. As Iron Man, Spider-Man, and the Arrow fly upwards, I fly in Thor's direction. I can feel the energy coming from my eyes as they glow red.

After all that Darksied has brought upon Earth... After all the disregard for human life that he's shown... One single, angry, and surprising thought passes through my mind, as I shoot out a massive blast of heat ray vision at Darkseid.

"BURN."

 

[SuperFerret]

I lift off, with Spider-Man and Green Arrow in tow. I try and open up communications with this "Wolverine" again.

"Wolverine? This is Iron Man. Do you copy? I repeat, do you copy? I'm on my way to the ship with the reinforcements I promised, where exactly are you located?"

 

[Logan Howlett]

I already told ya tin man, look for the fireworks! That wasnt a metaphor bub! Up in the sky, a bird, a plane, a **** load of FIREWORKS GOIN OFF ON THE OUTSIDE OF A GIANT SPACE SHIP! I aint got time to repeat myself, if your gona get those boys up here, then get um up here! I hear guards outside the doors, maybe a few hundred meters away, try to be real quiet, WE AINT GOT MUCH TIME BUB!

I hear guards outside the doors, maybe a few hundred meters away, try to be real quiet, WE AINT GOT MUCH TIME BUB!

To tell the truth, I don't much like this Wolverine. I see the fireworks now, didn't really think much about them earlier, but now, I changed my course and headed for them.

"Got it. Heading there now."

It shouldn't be long now.

 

[twylight]

"Hey babe. Listen, we're gonna be in deep **** soon, and we can't have anybody holdin' back. So if you've got some fancy superpower or something that can help, then step up and bring it. Otherwise, you'd better find yourself a safe place to hide 'cause it's gonna get nasty real soon."


OCC: I'm just wondering what the canary cry would do to Darkseid, if anything.

Dinah gave him a level glare before smiling.

"I doubt what I can do will be much of anything other than a distraction, but that's what they need."

She pointed a thumb over her shoulder.

"From what I've hear there are people aboard the ship and Tin Man, Robin Hood and Spider-Power over there are going to go onboard too."

Dinah flew up and sat on the large man's shoulder, her legs primly crossed he leaned over.

"By the way, I'm Black Canary. Shall we join the party?"


OOC: I have no idea but it's a distraction..also sorry about the whole shoulder thing. But Juggernaut is so big and the whole "Bird on the Shoulder" thing was to much to pass up.

 

[wiegeabo]

Whoa...



That's all I can think. My brain doesn't seem to want to work. She's...she's...she's some kind of woman.

Wait, what did she say? I was sort of...distracted. "Uhh...what? Did you say you want to take on the big guy, or his ship? 'Cause either way, I've got your back, babe." Wait...that didn't come out right.

That's when I notice she's sittin' on my shoulder leaning in.

Whoa...

I think I'm blushing. I'm the freakin' Juggernaut and I bet I'm turnin' as red as my armor. Damn, this is one hell of chick...



OOC: A little off-handed bird reference myself

 

[Keyser Soze]

Lex Luthor? What was Bill Gates busy playin polo? So lets look at my dream team so far, One Psycho catman whod want nothin better than to see me dead, the tin woodsman down there, and some billioneir crack pot who wished he had a brain! IM IN OZ! IM IN FREAKIN OZ! Guess that makes me Dorthy, minus the ruby slippers.

Logan's been bustin his ass for that ol' dog and he needs to throw me a bone! Whatever yur doin, it better be quik baldy!

Lex Luthor tensed at the word baldy, but this Wolverine character had hung up before he could offer up a retort.

Going back to the controls for his plane, Luthor led it up towards the mothership. An explosion of fireworks signalled where he had to go. Before long, Luthor was landing his plane in an alien hanger. As it drew up before the short, stocky figure who had to be Wolverine. A monitor flicked up behind the window of the plane's cockpit, and Luthor's face appeared. Now Luthor and Wolverine could see each other.

"I'll be sending my reinforcements up here now," his voice said, booming through the plane's speaker systems, "All my planes have a self-destruct system that will create quite an explosion. Several going off at once will rock this ship to its core. But first - I want to collect a sample."

Just then, a small robotic device with wheels fell out the bottom of the plane. It rolled over to the corner of the hangar, and drilled into the floor. Once it had finished collecting, it rolled back up to the plane, and was lifted back inside.

Back in his office at Lexcorp Towers, Luthor picked up his intercom, contacting Captain America.

"Steve, bring a group of planes up to the mothership. We've found an entry point."

 

[SuperFerret]

The sounds of the battle between Thor and Superman against Darkseid reach my ears as I approached the meeting point Wolverine set up. Entering the ship, I drop Green Arrow and Spider-Man off, and then turn to leave.

"Sorry, I can't stay and talk, I've got to go help fight tall, dark and evil down there. I'm sure you guys can handle the ship on your own. Good luck."

Then I'm gone, I hate to just drop them and run, but I have no idea what Darkseid could do to Thor and Superman while I stand around and chat. I doubt I can make a big difference anyway, but it won't hurt to try.

Though I have this sneaking suspicion it will.

 

[LibrarianThorne]

IC: Darkseid

The godling and the Kryptonian launch an assault upon him. Red beams erupt from the Kryptonian's eyes and impact upon Darkseid's chest. He is stunned with the realization that these beams are actually hurting him, slight though the pain may be. Thor too launches an attack, mystical lightning spearing into Darkseid.

He grunts with pain. The two heroes are throwing everything they have at him, that much he is certain.

His shirt begins to smoulder from the torrential force of energy flowing into him. He scowls and runs forward at astonishing speed. Before the thunder god can react, Darkseid is upon him, striking with a fury that could shake hell itself. With a sound like an artillery shell exploding, Darkseid hits Thor, sending the Norse god hurtling through buildings.

He then turned to face Superman, still pouring unheard of amounts of energy into Darkseid's chest. If Darkseid were to guess, these beams now burned as hot as the sun of this system. Yet to him, the intense heat was as nothing.

He reached forward quickly, clamping one hand over Superman's head. Still the heat beams stung, and with a yell of rage, Darkseid drove Superman into the ground.

Years later, people would take about the impact. It could be heard as far away as Albany. Nearby buildings, already damaged by the intense fighting, were toppled by the sheer force of it. At the epicenter, a massive three hundred foot crater appeared in Broadway. In the center of it was Darkseid, standing above the still form of Superman.

"This is what your continued resistance does, Superman. It destroys more of the thing you wish to protect. You are a simpleton given powers beyond your comprehension. Your place is not with gods, it is right here." He stamped his foot down onto Superman's head. "This is your position worm. This is the way it will always be. You will forever be under my boot, Kryptonian."

Reed finally arrived back at the Baxter Building and landed his ship in the hangar. He met up with the other members of the Fantastic Four in his lab.

"Where did you disappear to Reed?! You had me worried sick" Sue said

"There is no time to explain Sue, we have to act fast. I need you all to listen to me without question or interruption if we are to save our planet. Johnny, I need you to take out as many flame tanks as you can...they won't be able to do as much damage to you as they would to other heroes. Ben, I need you to help out on ground level, take out as many invaders as you can, and gather up all survivors and put them somewhere safe...things could get real ugly real quick" Reed said sternly

"Not a problem stretch-o" Thing said "Let's go match head"

"Be careful you two" Sue said as they left to do their part "What about me Reed? What can I do?"

"I need you to turn me invisible, and get me as close as you can to Darkseid" Reed said

"I can't Reed...it's too dangerous...I can't lose you" Sue said. Reed walked over to her

"I have to do this Susan...the fate of the world depends on it. If I die knowing the world is safe, it will make it all worth it" he said staring into her eyes

"But..." Sue began to say

"But nothing Susan...I need you to do this for me" Reed said as he leaned in and kissed her like he never kissed her before "for us"

"Alright Reed" She said wiping a tear from her eye "let's finish this"

Suddenly what seemed like an earthquake rocked the foundation of the earth.

"We have to hurry Sue" Reed said "I think I know where Darkseid is" They made their way towards the source of the quake.

 

[Logan Howlett]

Great now that everyone's FINALLY here can we get a move on...........What the hell just dropped out of that plane? .......Forget it, you billioniers are insane! But what about you spandex wearin freaks, who the hell are you? Aracna-Kid? Super Robbin Hood? Id have rather the tin man! Listen I dont know what you boys can do, but follow me if you even remotely wanna stay alive! We need to take out as many of the ships shields before Lex can blow this thing to smitheriens! Lex, you do whatever yur gona do, and wait fot cap, dont go blowin nothin up till we get back.

I hear a near by door open, and smell more a' those freaks comin.

Were about to have problems boys, get yurselves ready!(SNIKT!)

I pop my claws and get ready. The door opens, were about to have LOADS of trouble!

Can't... I... I can't... move... Can't... fight... Darkseid... He... too... too... strong... I... He's... I... I just... can't...

I try to push myself up from the ground, But Darkseid simply pushes me deeper into the ground. I can feel the street crumble beneath me, as Darkseid looks down at me with a grim expression that could send a chill down the spine of the devil himself.

He's stronger than anything I've ever faced. Anyone. That becomes more and more obvious as he keeps holding me down.

I look up at him, fraily, as he continues.

"You... You can't... win... You... won't... Even... if... destroy... me... You... won't..."

Even if I die here, today, He won't suceed. There are people that want to protect this world as much as I do. People able to do so. People who will resist him, regardless of whether I am the victor, or the victim, today. I have hope, because if these past few weeks have shown me anything... Anything at all... It's that I was wrong... and my father was right...

I am not alone.

 

[Sparta*]

<Mister Fantastic>

Reed and Sue approached the giant crater while still invisible. They arrived just as Superman was on the ground, nearly defeated. Reed appeared infront of Darkseid.

"I hold the Ultimate Nullifier, a weapon that beings more powerful then yourself fear to no end. With a thought, I could erase every one of your ships from existance, as well as yourself. You must leave this planet and never return..."

Reed stood on guard...he wasn't sure if he was going to be doing this the easy way or the hard way...but he was mentally prepared if it came down to the latter.

 

[Batman]

<Green Goblin>

I fly into Manhatten, surveying the small amount of damage that it's recieved from all of this. I can hear earthquakes coming from afar, and I see smoke rising up ahead.

...My kinda night!

I notice people looking up at me, genuinley confused. I look down at them, and give'a grin.

"You Think All THAT'S Somethin'? Wait'll You Get An Eyeful Of What I'm About To Pull! HAHAHAHAHA!"

I fly upwards, and turn around. Pushing down on the glider's pedals, I cackle as the rockets shoot from it, hitting various buildings. The people start screaming as explosions errupt and debris falls above them. All the while, I'm getting a kick outta this. Hell, I'm practically getting an ORGY! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I salute the screaming citizens as I fly deeper into the city. The booms and the quakes get louder, the closer I go. I fly past the Empire State building, noticing as I'm getting closer, fewer people are in the streets. Damn... And I was hoping for a massacre!

I turn, seeing army tanks roll in, from the sidelines, towards Broadway. Army tanks? BAH! Roadkill, if ya ask me.

I take out handfuls of my mini-bombs from my bag o' tricks, and fly towards the tanks.

"Oh, Fellas?!", I yell, with glee, as I hold my hands forward, hovering over them. "Wanna know my favorite military term?!"

I let them fly, as I kick the pedal for the booster, and rocket out. I turn my head, and call out: "BOMBS AWAY! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!", as a massive explosion takes the place of the tanks.

There's more than enough firepower in those mini-bombs to take out a small fort, so FIFTY of them shouldn't have a problem dealing with the army. I should know... I designed them!

I look up at the invader's ship, seeing planes fly to it. A dozen or two of them. One thing catches my eye, noticing that. They have the LEXCORP logo. I smile to myself, thinking about that.

"Osborn, You're Going To Be Kissing My Feet, After This. Of Course, You'll Be Kissing Your Own Damned Feet, In Actuality, But The Hell If I Care! HAHAHAHAHA!", I say, flying up towards the planes.

I ready the machine guns in in the glider.

"Oh LUTHOR! REMEMBER ME?!"

It was HIS funding that created me. It was HIS company that didn't care. It was HIS company that didn't FINISH the job!

Well, He's going to pay dearly for that. I cackle, as I begin to open fire...

 

[wiegeabo]

OOC: Sparta got his post up first, guess this happens just before Reed arrives.


Darkseid just put Thor on his ass and Supes under his boot. No time to think, just got to act. I gently pick the Canary up off my shoulder and set her on the roof. "If you're gonna do somethin' it better be soon." Damn, she's an impressive woman. Wonder if she's seeing anybody. No time for that. I turn around and jump.

I must have sounded like a falling bomb as my body dropped through the air. It's loud enough to get Darkseid's attention as I drive both boots into his face, knocking him of Supes and drilling him into his own crater.

The smoke clears, and I'm standing on Ugly again. "Know what 'Seid, this is the second time I've stood on your head." I look back at Superman, then at Darkseid. I pull back a boot and kick him in the face. A bit of blood spurts from his nose. I smile because that felt damn good. Really damn good. "How does it feel?"

Then I see it. I walk away, bend down, and pick up my helmet. Turning back, I clamp my helmet on tight. "Oh, and if you didn't know...this is Round 2!"

 

[Victor Creed]

Alright, im gona try to radio for help, If Cap gets here great, but if not, I dont want this to be a complete waste, and with Two crazed animal/soilders, and one broken battered old man, we aint gona get far. Creed you wait here, and take care of the Colonel, and by that I DONT mean kill him, got it?

Ya ya ya, sure thing hero.

It's bad enough we got outfitted with these tacky yellow SWAT oufits, but now I gotta babysit the crippled. Yea, Ill play the good little soldier for now, but only cuz id rather stay in one piece than be blasted apart by the thermacretes inside.

(1 Month Ago)

Im talkin about that heist ya did for S.H.I.E.L.D.! Ya know, that little bargan ya made with em', I scratch your back, you leave me the **** alone! Aint that right sunshine? You got tired of runnin from thier lap dogs, so you went an made a deal with devil. But when you saw what you were after, ya just could help but to shave a little off the top.

I'll let him believe what he wants, but if he thinks I just shaved a little off the top after a mission, he's way off. Yea, SHIELD and I made a little deal, but it wasnt so theyd leave me alone. Yea, they scratched my back, and I stabbed em in theirs. They probably wouldntve come lookin fer me if I hadnt broke outta there with a few "sensitive" files. Now I know the truth about our past.

As for their little gift to me........I can't wait to see the look on his face when the runt realizes he aint the only one with metal bones.

(Now)

Before the door opens I can smell em comin, and by the look on his face Im guessin Logan does too.

Were about to have problems boys, get yurselves ready!(SNIKT!)

I look down at the gun Im holding and I toss it to Robin Hood.

Hey pretty boy, use this. It'll work better than them little darts of yers.

I pull out my knife and hold a grenade in my right hand. I pull the pin with my teeth and drop the grenade at my feet.

Hey, Logan....think fast.

I kick the grenade right between Logan's legs and through the door as it opens.

IC: Darkseid

The human's words reached Darkseid's ears, and he looked up from crushing Superman into the ground. There, in this humans' outstretched hand, was the greatest weapon in the universe. A weapon against any potential threat. More than that, a component to the Anti-Life Equation.

Yet this battle had come to signify more than just the conquest of another world. This world was to serve as an example of Apokolips' might, after defying him so. He looked down at Superman, then again at the Juggernaught, and finally at Reed.

Plans within plans within plans began to course through Darkseid's head, and he smiled as he stared hard at Reed. He allowed flame to flare away from his eyes as he did so.

"You haven't the courage to use that weapon you hold, human, but the Nullifier interests me. We will strike a deal, you and I. You will give me the Ultimate Nullifier and my forces will leave this world. You will have it to protect for as long as this universe exists."

He looked around then, surveying the devastation caused by his battle with these superhumans.

"Or, you can attempt to use that Nullifier that you hold. But I do feel an obligation to warn you about one small matter. If you were to erase me, this entire reality would cease to exist."

Darkseid smiled again, a smile that sent chills up the spines of everyone who saw it. He folded his hands across his chest, and removed his boot from Superman's head.

 

[Logan Howlett]

I jump outa the way of the grenade, nearly slaming face first into a graded alien metal floor. He'll pay for that. As I turn I see about half of the jackasses that were about to mangle us blown to little alien peices. I look at our new arrivals and they almost seem shocked at the carnage. Thier green, real green. Hell that pipsqeak arachnid doesnt look much older than a teenager. None a' these boys have seen real combat, real war. Somethin in Robin Hoods eyes shows me he knows something of death, but not of this calibur.

If I so much as start to see you boys flake on me and YOU'LL be the ones choken on shrapnel!

I look at Creed, he understands the glance. Its time to shred. We rush em' head on, there blasters tearin through this nifty SHIELD garb. Exposin parts of my shiny underlayering. Adamantium has a certain glimmer ya just cant miss. I tear though soilders left and right, I dont think they understand just how we keep comin, maybe a healin factor of this nature just aint see on Apokalipse. I look behind me to see the Spider and the Archer just standin there.

I AINT TELLIN YA AGAIN! MOVE IT!

I salute the screaming citizens as I fly deeper into the city. The booms and the quakes get louder, the closer I go. I fly past the Empire State building, noticing as I'm getting closer, fewer people are in the streets. Damn... And I was hoping for a massacre!

I turn, seeing army tanks roll in, from the sidelines, towards Broadway. Army tanks? BAH! Roadkill, if ya ask me.

I take out handfuls of my mini-bombs from my bag o' tricks, and fly towards the tanks.

"Oh, Fellas?!", I yell, with glee, as I hold my hands forward, hovering over them. "Wanna know my favorite military term?!"

I let them fly, as I kick the pedal for the booster, and rocket out. I turn my head, and call out: "BOMBS AWAY! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!", as a massive explosion takes the place of the tanks.

There's more than enough firepower in those mini-bombs to take out a small fort, so FIFTY of them shouldn't have a problem dealing with the army. I should know... I designed them!

I look up at the invader's ship, seeing planes fly to it. A dozen or two of them. One thing catches my eye, noticing that. They have the LEXCORP logo. I smile to myself, thinking about that.

"Osborn, You're Going To Be Kissing My Feet, After This. Of Course, You'll Be Kissing Your Own Damned Feet, In Actuality, But The Hell If I Care! HAHAHAHAHA!", I say, flying up towards the planes.

I ready the machine guns in in the glider.

"Oh LUTHOR! REMEMBER ME?!"

It was HIS funding that created me. It was HIS company that didn't care. It was HIS company that didn't FINISH the job!

Well, He's going to pay dearly for that. I cackle, as I begin to open fire...

Lex Luthor's planes were under attack. He connected to the camera feed on one of his AI planes, and caught sight of a green figure on a glider. Another alien? No, this was human. Or at least something close to human.

"Who the hell are you?" Luthor muttered to himself.

He didn't have time for this. Whoever it was, they weren't going to last long standing against Lex Luthor. He typed in a few commands, and 3 of his AI planes were dispatched towards the flying goblin, ready to open fire.

Meanwhile, Captain America was leading the rest of the planes to the mothership. Soon, it would be time to blow this thing sky high. It swelled Luthor's heart to think that, for all the futile efforts of these "superheroes", it was his technology that was going to cast the killing blow in this battle.

"It's time to save the world..."

 

[The Question]

I turn to the Robin Hood wannabe and the short guy i the yellow outfit.

"So, what do you think we're...."

Suddenly, the doors open and a bunch of those flying guys come at us.

"Nevermind."

I jump at the swarm of soldiers and slam into five of them. I punch and kick and do what I have to to get past them. I even grab one of them and start using him as a bludgion. Normally, I'd worry about hurting the guy, but right now I'm too freaked out to care. Suddenly, a bunch of them grab me by the legs and bring me down, and a few more lunge at me. I hold up my arm to block them, and....

They jump back in pain.

I look at my arm, and I see that it's now all armory and spikey. And then it goes back to normal. What the hell.

A few more of them come at me. I wonder....

My fist grows in size and becomes hard as steel, and I swat them away like they were nothing.

I don't know what this street schmutz is, but I really like it.
